The divide between social media and television in the immediate wake of the queen’s death has highlighted the way new media are changing the culture.

The BBC credits Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 as the “event that did more than any other to make television a mainstream medium.” Fitting, then, that her funeral on Monday marks the end of TV’s dominance that started when she came to the throne. Back then, the lack of TV sets in the mainstream meant that viewers gathered in friends’ living rooms, churches and other public spaces to watch the coronation, creating a shared broadcast experience and a shared sense of history.

The time difference between US and UK viewers as well as workday schedules could result in more Americans seeing the funeral later in the day on the Internet and social media video than on live TV. Robert Thompson, a professor of media and popular culture at Syracuse University thinks the time difference is enough to affect Monday’s audience size.

There are no kings, there are no queens. All the humans are created equal. The idea of royalty is disgusting.

This means the Mobile Binary Zombies prophecy is real. Watch out for inflation and worldwide depression catastrophe. NOTE; I'm not a conspiracy theorist but rather a VERY rational citizen listed on our extinction schedule. Luckily, most of us won't live to witness this 🌐 event.

I think you mean, social media and the real world.

Im looking at the state where she remains. A nation mourning. I feel part of them. 🖤💙🖤
